There is no good solution for a Conservative Party facing a challenge to its right and having widely judged to have failed on issues which should be owned by the right (immigration)

So Stephen may be correct but this is very much the Kobayashi Maru - the no win scenario

Meloni and Frederiksen aren’t *that* unpopular (sort of Cameron-level rather than Truss/Hollande level unpopularity IIRC). Wonder why?

The red line here?

Don’t disagree these would help (though suspect the PLP won’t wear the sort fiscal restraint which would curb inflation). But the #1 issue in YouGov issues tracker is immigration- why do you discount it as a reason for govt unpopularity?

Thank you for the link. I am surprised that you argue that the principle problem *within the right* is economics rather than immigration- where all the intra-right debate has been. The charts below I think perfectly explain intra-right anger at the Tories
